"You start with no perks and cannot customize your character. Your character will not obey any controls, unless that is what you're expecting. Also, when you die the game will not turn off and will electrocute anyone who attempts to unplug it. The only thing you have to look forward to is the voice of your mother repeatedly saying 'So this is what you chose to do with your life?'"

You truly epitomise this comic. I don't get why the fucking atheists here agree with you. Where do you honestly get off calling all atheists self-righteous douche bags? Are you a Christian? In which case, you're not invited here if you're going to insult everyone and be a cunt. Are you an atheist? Then you hopefully adopt the same insult or recognize we're not all the fucking same and recant it. Are you one of those retards who says "I don't believe in god, but I'm not an atheist 'cause they're all jerkfaces"? If so, I'd rather talk to you when you grow the fuck up.

Also, you can't dodge one of the three options with "Nuh uh, I'm an agnostic". You can't answer the question of belief in something with the response, I can't know 100% if it exists:

Q "Do you believe in god?"

A "I don't know if he really exists"

Doesn't work.

Anyway, why do you idiots stick around? Please fucking unsubscribe and stop polluting every single comment section with your incessant bitching. If you want to be a sanctimonious dick, take it to /r/christianity or /r/adviceanimals I'm sure they'd love to hear it. But not here. You people are cancer.

P.s. apologies to r/christianity. The people there aren't really sanctimonious dicks. I just figured they'd be more receptive to whiny anti-atheist bullshit than the people here.

It's not arrogant, it's an analogy. Just because someone says they are better than someone else in some aspect (in this case, choice in beliefs) doesn't mean they're being an overconfident douche about it

He circles round you on his pink bike and wheelies at you every 10 seconds. The trick is to just side strafe around him and hit his underbelly with the double-blades, then immediately roll backwards so he doesn't fall on you. The level is set in the Winchester, so you can collect molotov cocktails from the bar (but you don't need to do that to beat the level).

Whats wrong with being happy that you've used logic and reason to figure out your beliefs? I FUCKING despise people like you who oversimplify things and don't take the time to figure out the explanation behind them.

Oh yeah that's exactly how my religion works. I'm being evicted and whatnot but it's cool cause ya know, God. Get off the fucking high horse you people seem to share. We all have hard lives and petty shit like this just makes it that much harder for people like me that want to coexist and get along but can't because jerks like you feel it's their duty to go out of their way and mock somebody that thinks differently. Its all the same bullshit excuses too about how christians do it all the time or how we're not nice. How is you being a dick in anticipation any different than some child coming up with a reason to tease the other kids? It isn't and youre an asshole like the christiand you mock. Atheist =/= intelligent and many redditors prove that everyday with threads like these.

Going to go tell God to take away my angry and fix that hole in my tooth now, brb.

That's the same place I'm coming from and I appreciate some sense. A person's beliefs do not reflect their intelligence and individuals should be judged as such. R/atheism has somr great people but some people in here have a knack for making everyone look bad. Like any....minority...I suppose, one bad apple makes everyone look rotten.

That's not exactly true. If a person believes that black people are inferior to white people, or that Jews are evil, or [insert hackneyed racist stereotype here], it proves that they are willfully ignorant, unintelligent people. At the very least it strongly implies that.

You are saying religious faith doesn't make someone stupid. I agree. But sometimes religious faith makes people believe or do stupid things. Like deny certain scientific concepts in light of overwhelming evidence, just to cling to a literal interpretation of their holy text.

Sorry :( I was half hoping somebody would Robert Downey JR me..what do you mean you people...haha but yeah I wish we could all take our egos down a peg and just...discuss. it's nice hearing somebody else's view of the world from time to time.

Dachshunds are theoretically badass though. They were originally bred for fighting and killing badgers in their own lairs. I
definitely prefer them over over ridiculously cutesy toy dogs. I'd include chihuahuas but they're IIRC one of the most intelligent dog species around so they're cute too.

And with noble canine companions I was more referring to beasts like Leonbergers, Newfoundlanders and Saint Bernards. Mastiffs can be cool too. As well as Corgis which are tiny but look pretty badass and adorable.

jerks like you feel it's their duty to go out of their way and mock somebody that thinks differently

Sorry, I don't see him leaving flyers at your house about atheism. You came to /r/atheism. That's on you, friend. It's all right to dislike the content, but don't act like someone chased you down and beat you over the head with it.

Don't buy into this privilege nonsense. Look, I'm an atheist from the bible belt, I was taught for along time evolution was a lie. I've had someone say to me "The only thing I hate more then niggers, liberals, and fags is atheist." You know how much it has effected me? None.

If you live in a first world country, it's maybe like starting with 99% instead of 100% of your health. So small it doesn't matter. If you're from a country where they kill atheist, or other serious issues, then you can talk, but I wouldn't think you would need a dumb video game analogy. Since there are obvious and clear results of discrimination.

Take this crap back to the First World Problems 2, where everything is as trivial but everyone is completely serious. (Also known as SRS).

I'm thinking that it should be what parents you start off with. If you choose to start with religious parents, you can get virtual virtual karma for becoming atheist and writing about it on virtual reddit.

For one, I don't think we start out with a blank slate at all. In fact I think many of the genes that are passed down greatly influence our personality and character, but that's not to say that we are capable of changing our personality slightly.

I believe the Atheist mode is way off. For starters Atheists are not blank slates that become molded.
Should read as this

Agnostic (normal)
You are agnostic! You start out with teh Blank Slate perk. This will allow you to fully customize your character. You will have to work to unlock further perks, but you have access to the full variety of perks and all their levels.

--- which if wanted to, the agnostic can unlock +3 sense of security and _1 Hope with -5 attachment to reality.

Atheist ( )
You are atheist! you start out with various perks, including +1 sense of security and +5 attachment to Reality. Enlightenment perks such as transcendence, hope, superstition, and sense of entitlement will be harder to raise, however worldly perks like attachment to reality, and motivation will be easy to raise.

So you're implying that an atheist lifestyle is harder than a religious one? I'm sorry, but when I was religious, it was not easy being scared of going to Hell everyday and wondering constantly if everything I did was acceptable to God.

Rules have to be strictly followed as video games can only run on the developer's coding, no exceptions and no argument. What is coded will be what is followed. Last "official" update for Jesus-related easy mode was documented April 3rd, 33 A.D., constant non-official modding occurred in the past 1600 years or so.

Or it might just be that we're dealing with a shitty game designer. I imagine most players would get bored of life and spend their time trolling other players and blowing themselves up while practicing their rocket jumps.

Sigh. The self-righteousness in a lot of these posts just gets so wearisome. I'll be the first to admit that I think most religious people are either stupid to afraid to deal with reality, but damn man, these things make all atheists look like douches.
